Today, we’re digging into the impact of organizational design, centralization, and role specialization—and why these practices, if not balanced, can create disconnection within teams.
Mike takes us back to the 1950s with Robert McNamara’s approach to systematizing Ford, where he applied rigorous math and precision to boost cost-effectiveness.
While it made sense on paper, the outcome was a workforce so specialized that employees lost sight of the bigger mission.
When roles become isolated, the organization risks losing the human connection to purpose.
Ford, and later the U.S. government, felt the strain of this rigid structure. In the multifamily industry, it’s vital to remember this: staying close to the big picture keeps teams united, motivated, and resilient.
